Flushing’s Festival Fan Faire : A Recap Of Chuseok Fest’o8 »

For three days of the NYAF our Ningin crew met so many interesting people. It was great to meet you; the creative people that make a weekend like this a great experience. I wish all our Ningin members could have been there with us to see the these Animated characters come to life. It was truly unbelievable! Costume clad Anime fans came from all over the world to converge in New York. Anime has truly been a wonderful influence on us all. It is something that goes beyond languages and borders and brings us all together. Especially when you realize that you may have grown up with an Anime show that also played in Europe or Asia or Africa.

If you haven’t ever been to a convention or a gathering like this before with so many things to do and see and not enough of one person to go around it can be overwhelming. Screenings, panels, and performances go on all at once. Picking and choosing your favorites isn’t as easy as picking a Pokemon for battle. What is the fun is the fact is everyone is on equal ground. No one is trying to

People who you have never met are pulling you to dance through the aisles. In fact the droves of V (for Vendetta) masked people formed a makeshift dance parade. The one carrying the boom-box RICK ROLLED the Ningin booth and danced to Pokemon with our very own Mudkips! It was slightly unnerving to see how well V does the conga but I was very happy to witness his royal revenge himself shake his booty. However the most popular costumed characters that we saw were from Death Note, Vampire Knight and Code Geass.  Code Geass cosplayers were amazing from the people at Elves ate my Ramen there were tons of Suzaku’s, Zero’s, CeCe’s…even WCS2008team duo of Cosplay, Yui & Mino, cosplayed Code Geass and visited our booth to take some photos. I really cannot pick my all time favorites of the convention. From the Darker than Black group to the Sailor Scouts everything was just so imaginative.

I cannot wait for Ningin’s next convention. I hope to see you there!

WEeee thanks for whoever voted for me (2nd place).


I love the 1st place! Pretty colors!


Congrats to the winners!


That’s not who I voted for. :X


Want to give me free tickets?


Congrats!


Oh sorry, you guys look so cute in those pictures! :D


If I cosplayed, I think I’d dress up as Kagome from Inuyasha raspberry


Hey so voting ends in about 12 hours or so. It’s a pretty close race even though we have a few thousand votes… better get your friends to sign up and vote for you if you haven’t already =)


Do we know who’s in the lead so far?


XD My friend and I once discussed about dressing up as Mario and Luigi . . . for my psychology project hahaha.  It didn’t fall through, though, it would have been interesting!


hehe smile Cute avatar btw. You should cosplay anyways and see the reactions you get while walking around the base and itaewon.


@Hoc—I’m sure there are anime festivals here or some kind of comic conventions, but it’s either always during times I can’t go, I already have plans, or it’s too darn far and I’m lazy to make the commute.  Of course, there’s also the fact that I don’t hear about the event until it’s too late. XD

@Mia—Hahaha that’d be interesting!  Let’s do the dance, eh?

@Lan—AWWW!  *hugs her little dongsaeng* Thanks for the thought and offer. :3 I’d so like to escape from Seoul sometimes!

I was happy to find your booth =) Awesome stuff. Thank you Lan!

Hehe! Thanks. Sorry I couldn’t talk more or meetup with you guys. I was super swamped with all the work. It was great meeting you though. smile

No worries, I know how it is, I didnt get to stop by until Sunday because of all the running around I had to do the entire weekend. If you ever need help just let me know. =)

Well whenever you guys do events, let me know we’ll try to cover them. smile Thanks!

Omg Tara Eunnie! If I had money, I would totally fly you out here. Get you away from the dirty Seoul air. haha


WE so need TARA to get out here for Comic CON!

we can all do the wonder girls dance. Lara Jess Tara Me and LAN!


They don’t have anime festivals in Korea? Well, we took all these photos so that our friends and users will be able to be there in “spirit” =)


I want that yaoi paddle.  Like, HOMG.  Actually, I take that back.  I’d have a hard time explaining to my parents, especially my mother, why I have a paddle and what exactly yaoi means X____X;; Dad already knows, I think.  My mother can remain ignorant.

Man, looking at all these pictures makes me wish I was in NY.  Darn ocean, landmass, and distance for being in my way.


I expected more Haruhis.


The top 50 are so good!
